It's Always Personal (PG-13)

Jenica appeared out of no where in the seat across from chris. The air around them smelled of static electricity. She smiled sweetly and held out her hand to shake. "Hi there. Im jenica. Call me jj. You are chris. Wow you really do look different. I like this you. Your person will be here shortly. Do they have good food here? Im staaarved. Ive never seen this place with the lights on before." After shaking s hand she picked up a menu and flipped through it. She appeared to be a little hyperactive.

She giggled and ordered a rootbeer. She continued to speak after the waitress walked away. "I guess i can tell you that. Where i came from is very different from now. We dont have as many luxuries there as you do."  She didnt want to tell to much and give too much away. "As i said im just here to make sure futures happen."

Thana smiled softly to herself as she walked in to the diner that Chris and her had decided on, and was exactly two minutes late. " Sorry." She said as she walked over to him, spotting another person and subtly raising an eyebrow. " Personal stuff, I'm not ever late I apologise ." Thana said to him, before turning to the girl. " Hi." She said as she didn't know what else to say.


Thana was carrying a small bag with her, which carried her tablet and some paperwork she had acquired as well. She shrugged and took a seat opposite Chris, before looking over the menu. " Wait am I interrupting something ?"

Chris listened to JJ and pondered on what she had said, not really sure what to make of it. "Sounds bad. Just by the way you keep repeating you have to make futures happen. That leads me to believe there is a lot of death in your future - just saying..." From the sounds of it, the future was a terrible place, just from what he could assume from her words; if she had to make sure futures happened, there was no soda and no diner, it didn't take a genius to add it all up. Still, if the future was truly an awful place, Chris didn't understand why she didn't tell someone so that what she said she was there for would actually happen though he was the last person who should have been judging anyone.

About that time, Thana had arrived and the young man looked up at her with a nod at why she was late. It was none of his business so long as it didn't put their plans in jeopardy, though JJ did make their plans seem rather small in comparison as someone trying to save the world. When asked if she was interrupting something, Chris shook his head, "No, you're good. She and I were just talking. This is JJ. She's one of us."

He cast a glance over at the time traveler, saying enough to put Thana at ease, but having respect enough to keep his mouth shut on what they'd discussed just before the other girl arrived though, in the back of his mind, he wasn't going to let a revelation like the future being potentially terrible go without a fight though the fight was for another time and place, not the diner before going to Vegas.

JJ seemed more interested in the fries than she did the conversation. She was legally an adult but seemed to have the attention span of a child. Part of it was just the excitement of all the good food and safety. Things she didnt have from her time. " Oh crap i said too much. Fudge im gunna mess things up and my dad is not gunna be happy. Oh well, hopefully it doesnt change anything too much." She washed down a mouthful of fries with soda.

" I travelled here from the future like i told you. I didnt land where i thought i did so bear with me. Im still adjusting to what has and hasnt happened yet. Your dad took Ari pretty much right after you left and handed her over to an MRD leader. I cant tell you who because that part is kind of hazy, the person's future isnt 100%. Anyways.... yea they hurt her. Im not sure how bad but i just know theres blood and the smell of burned sulfur." She continued eatting her fries. " She will end up in a hospital but i dont know which one. Its not an exact science. Sorry."

ooc: am i the only one who doesnt have all of the reply box?

Thana looked at the both of them and shrugged, before frowning as the girl mentioned Jake. Quickly she cleared her throat and moved on, " Well while you two were gossiping I found out some info." Thana said, pulling out her tablet and some paperwork. " Here's everyone's shifts, locations. Anything you want to know about these people I've got it. Now if they have this Bella girl they will hold her here." Thana said, indicating to a specific cell block. 


Looking at the menu she smiled, " I'll get Fries and a burger. You guys ready to order?" Thana asked, hoping neither asked where she got the information from .

Chris was only partly listening to her words while the sound of his beating heart grew louder and louder and nearly drowned both JJ and Thana out completely. He caught bits and pieces, but didn't like what had been said earlier and all he could focus on was the fact that his father had gotten to Ari despite his trying to protect her. Now she was with some MRD officer and could be practically anywhere before the hospital she was supposed to be put in.

He stared at a single fork on the table, his thoughts wild and his muscles tense. It wasn't until he shook himself from the daydream that he realized, in his anger and frustration, he'd been causing the electronic devices in the diner to go berserk.

Jj stared at chris with a mouthful of burger. She seemed more curious than scared when all the power stuff started going wonky. She swallowed what she had in her mouth and turned back to thana like nothing happened. "Your intel is off. They never took her to the prison. I couldnt see exactly where but they took her somewhere secluded. It looked like a rundown building."


She sucked down the last of her soda and sat it down with a content sigh. "Cool light show sparky but calm down. She doesnt die yet."

Thana looked between the two of them, " Rundown building? Rundown building? Do you have any idea on how many rundown buildings there are. Looks like the plan had changed then. What do you want me to do Chris?" Thana asked the spark. It seemed now they were going on a rescue mission, which meant Thana had to be ready to fight.


Eating her food quickly she looked at Chris and waited for an answer. She packed up all tablets but one and kept flicking through it. Not sure what else to do or say until Chris decided." you just charged my tablet up again. Remind me to get you to do that more often." She commented to Chris.

"i already knew you were going to ask so i guess i dont have much of a choice now so i." She too noticed the other patrons starting to leave. They were wearing police uniforms but she noticed their guns. To nice for a cop, not standard issue either.

She set down the ipad and began to stretch. She could see the officers getting closer to them. "nice to see you fellas but we gott jet."She dropped her hands quickly on chris and thana's wrists and the air smelled lkke static for a second then they all dissapeared and reappeared in an alley a few blocks away.

She bent over and acted like she was gunna puke but eventually straightened her back. "I keep saying im not going to port other people than i myself but here i go again." She spit on the ground and kicked a trashcan. She then looked at her watches again and muttered under her breath. "Okay i got it now. Jake will be bringing here to thana's place in the morning. This is just all kinds of mixed up. " she continues to mutter to herself.

One minute Thana was getting ready to get up and out, the next she was in an alleyway. Which made her feel really queasy " Wowa" she muttered, listening to the girl, then listening to Chris and nodding. " Okay. I'm at the Equestrian, just ask for Thana." Thana explained, getting ready to climb up the building she felt an explosion blast right next to her and knew it would hit her friends. Quickly she summoned her ability and threw up a blue shield around them, taking the front of the explosion and blow. " Zap them!" Thana yelled, getting back to her feet before running behind the shields she had created for them. 

" Still think I can't help?" She asked him, breathless. " Don't get yourself killed." With that she quickly climbed up the building and simply ran on adrenaline not to feel the pain from the explosion. She could worry about that later, a few MRD followed her up but she threw them to their deaths or threw them down on to the floors below. Quickly and quietly as she could going back to her place. She had to drop the shields she had put up for Chris and the girl as she lost sight of them. 


-Thana exit-

The explosion shook Chris from his focus on what he had to do and he took note of the forcefield Thana put up, smirking at her remark of being help. He, too, had the ability to create forcefields but wasn't going to steal her thunder in telling her so and rather than argue with her, he narrowed his eyes at the M.R.D. agents and sent a cascade of electricity from both hands in their direction. The alleyway was narrow and the electricity arched to the width of the alley leaving no man safe from the mutant's attack.

The MRD agents fell to the ground shaking as the energy coursed through them just as the forcefield dropped. Chris looked up to see that Thana was gone then turned to JJ. "Get out of here, Future Girl. I've got this." He didn't wait for her to agree or disagree and walked over to the men, narrowing his eyes and holding his hands above where they writhed in pain, palms down, sent additional electricity into them ensuring they wouldn't get back up but also that none of them could tell their story to the rest of their department to prevent tracking and keep the three mutants safe.

He took a quick look over the smoking bodies noting one man still breathing and shook his head at the resilience of the man, then grabbed hold of his leg and drug him down the alley. "You and I... are gonna talk." The agent wouldn't live indefinitely, Chris would later see to that, but he could make use of the uniform to get into where his father was. They were military fatigues making identification impossible.
